Real Life Resume

Sometimes people need to know a little more about me besides yarnbombing for professional reasons or just curiosity . Here is an informal resume that strives to be useful yet anonymous .

Resume

I grew up in Rochester , N . Y . I have degrees in ceramics from The School of American Craftsman In Rochester , N .Y. and from The California College Of Crafts in Oakland , Ca . I had a ceramics studio for 15 years and showed and sold my ceramics at The American Craft Enterprise Shows in Baltimore , West Springfield and San Francisco .

I stopped wanting to do production ceramics and closed my ceramics business . I decided I would rather teach for my living and make my art for myself . I opened a small textile school and have taught knitting , spinning , weaving , crocheting , natural dyeing . I now teach feltmaking and surface design .

I love to teach and have taught an interesting array of human activities . I taught Breema Bodywork at Mills College , Oakland Ca . , The Experimental College at U . C . Davis and for the UC. Berkeley Rec program . I also taught at The Breema Institute in Oakland , Ca.

I taught sea kayaking , white water kayaking and open water rowing at UC Berkeley Out door Recreation for 10 years ..
